    Anesthesiology 98:1491-6. 2003
    ..Intensive care units may frequently present bottlenecks to patient flow, and saturation of these services limits a hospital's responsiveness to new emergencies...
  2. ncbi Queuing theory accurately models the need for critical care resources
    Michael L McManus
    Department of Anesthesia, Pain and Perioperative Medicine, Children s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
    Anesthesiology 100:1271-6. 2004
    ..Although mathematical tools have been suggested for determining the proper number of intensive care beds necessary to serve a given demand, the performance of such models has not been prospectively evaluated over significant periods...
  3. ncbi Managing unnecessary variability in patient demand to reduce nursing stress and improve patient safety
    Eugene Litvak
    Boston University, Boston, USA
    Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf 31:330-8. 2005
    ..Al forms of artificial variation in the demand and supply of health care services should be identified, and pilot programs to test operational changes should be conducted...

    Gerhard K Wolf
    Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
    Pediatr Crit Care Med 7:434-9; quiz 440. 2006
    ..Instead, free phenytoin concentrations should be routinely measured in critically ill children to prevent possible intoxications and ensure therapeutic dosing. Corrections using the Sheiner-Tozer equation were unreliable...
